Visitor/Volunteer

The WYCE Lodge offers you the chance to attend exclusive retreats at our secluded compound in Madina Salam.

Our first Retreat the Heal from Within yoga retreat was an enormous success, bringing together for the first time relaxation, massage and hands on help with the local community. In between yoga sessions, visitors were busy, at the local school and clinic as well as cleaning the local beach. Check out our upcoming Events for an experience to suit you.
